This webinar discussion aims to give beginners in the world of cryptocurrencies tips to better protect themselves, their money, and their sanity.

Multi-party permissioned blockchains present a set of new security challenges for dev ops and system and network administration.

This webinar will cover why a lot of what we already know from securing N-tier architectures also applies to securing permissioned blockchains. It will also cover what is different and new and discuss strategies for the practical defense of these distributed systems.

While some hackers crave the attention of a high profile attack or data breach, others prefer to work in shadows either trying to hide their tracks or are indifferent all together.

Regardless, accurately understanding where an attack comes from is very helpful in defending against future attacks. More importantly, when companies and key organizations work together it is possible to tie together a multitude of individual footprints into a single, conclusive trail back to the originator.

This session will focus on the importance of attribution and includes a case study of how a major cyber criminal was taken down, from the lowest foot soldier to the kingpin himself.

Cyber risk isn't new, but the stakes grow higher every day. An incident is no longer likely to be an isolated event, but a sustained and persistent campaign. There is no single solution that will offer protection from an attack, but a Cyber Resilience strategy can provide a multi-layered approach that encompasses people, processes and technology.

Pete Wood will talk about eliminating the gap between IT and the business to present a united front against threats. This is a paradigm shift that uses security intelligence to guide decisions and support agility.

Unlocking the data’s true value is a challenge, but there are a range of tools and techniques that can help. This live discussion will focus on the data analytics landscape; compliance considerations and opportunities for improving data utility in 2018 and beyond.

Privva AutoAssess is an Artificial Intelligence solution to automate the process of responding to the security assessments you receive from your clients. AutoAssess learns from each and every assessment processed, so the Security Assessment responses generated are increasingly more accurate and consistent -- with fewer revisions required over time.

Responding to security assessments can be a time consuming and sometimes frustrating process, due to complex variations of similar questions in multiple formats. Unfortunately, this process is only getting worse. As enterprises take a more proactive approach to data security, completing third-party vendor assessments has become a necessary cost of doing business.

Privva can turn this time-consuming endeavor into an easy process, saving you hours per client and enabling you to focus on other critical areas of data protection. The Privva AutoAssess solution has reduced the time spent per client from 5 hours to under 30 minutes.

The new business reality of GDPR and how you use customer data is inexorably approaching, if you work in or are doing business with anyone in the EU you must deal with this regulation.

With data protection, there are really only two options: protection of data through ever-more data centralization and security or turning the customer data paradigm on its head and decentralize the data.

We have a new model: give your customers full control over their data, gain their trust, and lower your costs with the open-source Pillar Business Wallet. Join our conversation Thursday, 30th of November.

Governments continue to try to regulate cyberspace, often with little effective impact. Security professionals struggle to design and operate infrastructure that will comply with rules written with Semantically Intentional Ambiguous Meaning (SIAM). Learn from the classrooms of one of the world's great universities the new methods for navigating those challenges and putting in place rules that are effective for managing infrastructure.

Cybersecurity is at a crossroads and requires a dramatic shift to adequately support the needs of business owners and security administrators as digital transformation challenges their needs and investments. Managing multiple cloud providers and dramatic increases in the number of endpoints generating data and the subsequent volume of data means enterprise security teams no longer have the requisite skills and bandwidth to deal with complicated security products. Building in security from the beginning quickly and cost-effectively is an industry game changer, especially with new growth markets like Big Data, Blockchain, Cloud Computing, Internet of Things and Digital Payments.

Multi-cloud environments and government regulations and industry compliance add to the complexity of maintaining a manageable and effective data protection strategy. Transforming encryption and key management (data protection in general) into a click and deploy model reduces internal business barriers between security teams, DevOps and product teams and alleviates disparate security policies, so you know where your data is and that it is secure. The way people consume security is changing by taking an on-demand approach similar to the Netflix philosophy. In this webinar, we will discuss how cloud-based security is simplifying workflow processes, changing cost/benefit models to drive us towards a pervasiveness of encryption and key management that will de-risk data and connectivity in similar ways to anti-virus and firewalls.

Join this interactive presentation to learn about:
• The role of security in today's connected world
• The drivers for and impact of simplifying security on business and workflow
• How security is providing valuable business intelligence through connected systems and meeting compliance mandates
• Gemalto’s solution to solving on-demand data protection
• Upcoming cybersecurity trends and how to prepare

This discussion focuses on delivering a secure API layer and how Open Banking will deliver a secure Open Future..

Open Banking will affect every layer of the bank:
-It will stretch and stress banks’ brands – resulting in both the potential for significantly increased reach, and reputational enhancement and risk
-It will change and complicate how banks talk to consumers and SMEs – whether direct, intermediated, invisible, or all three simultaneously
-The ecosystem environment will radically change how services are designed - with a flood of ideas and data available for those banks which successfully attract, seed and enrich the ecosystem within which they are a player
-And the ecosystem environment will fundamentally change how these services are delivered – whether by companies with whom the bank has a partnership, or companies with whom the bank has absolutely no relationship
-And finally, it also demands a rich, growing - and secure - API layer to enable the Open Future

Cyber criminals continue to target online banking using malware to hijack customer transactions and banking sessions. While there has been an overall drop in infections related to these consumer threats, financial institutions are now facing new types of attacks in the form of large-scale financial heists.

Attack groups such as Fin7 and Lazarus are deliberately targeting financial institutions in audacious attacks that are reaping large rewards. They are using living off the land and fileless attack tactics similar to APT groups. But also extortion with DDoS attacks or business email compromise (BEC) scams are increasingly bothering financial corporations.

In this webcast on the current financial threat landscape, Symantec takes a look at the most prevalent and significant financial threats.

In this webcast we will review:
- The top threats facing financial institutions with statistics and examples
- Explore the most common techniques employed in financial attacks
- Provide case studies of the most high-profile financial attacks of the past 12 months

Dynamic, volatile, innovative. Cloud security is all of these and more. Join this webinar to learn more about:
- How can cloud service vendors turn the constant parade of new threats into a continuing opportunity to increase customer loyalty?
- How can customers gain trust in their service vendors despite the parade?

Griff is trained as a Canadian Infantry Officer and is a graduate of the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy. After a two-year stint as a Strategic Policy Analyst at the Treasury Board Secretariat in Ottawa, he moved to London where he completed a Master’s Degree at the LSE. Unable to find “real” work, he got into software development as a Scrum Master, leading the development of a web based application. This experience fostered an interest in cybersecurity, and Griff went on to a boutique start-up providing application security to Fortune 500 companies. Frustrated by the disconnect between technologies and poor analysis within cyber security, Griff founded cyber defense firm Damrod Analysis in 2017. He is London based, where he and his wife are expecting their first child shortly.

What have we learned from 2017's biggest breaches and how will we deal with 2018's emerging threats? Attempting to look both backward and forward over the cyber landscape, Peter Wood will review lessons learned and apply them to the evolving threatscape.

Constant changes automated throughout the system and the integration and separation of responsibilities shake our security habits. In this session, we will look at how security architecture and solutions can adapt to those moving targets and provide the automated approach to make these environments even more secure.

Join us on November 7th to learn how to ensure your operations team don’t put security in too late in the automation game.

As organizations continue to ramp-up their migration to cloud-based environments, they will need to account for the associated security and control risks. There are hidden dangers and blind spots that arise through the use of virtualization technology in the data center. These hidden dangers and blind spots become more prevalent as business-critical applications are increasingly deployed on the public cloud. This is a problem considering that an organization’s operations are dependent on a cloud environment that inherently has a huge visibility gap.

Many are now making the necessary changes to keep data secure in the cloud. This talk will focus on how to pragmatically accomplish cloud security through increased emphasis on cloud network visibility and cloud access security brokers. Enterprises that can properly implement appropriate cloud network visibility and cloud access security brokers will experience a third fewer security failures. Learn about practical steps and tools that you can use for accomplishing cloud security in your organization.
